Hi we are Joel & Rachel from Sydney Australia. We work in advertising & design industry. We love travelling, outdoor activities and meeting new people. Together we have travelled across 6 continents and 30+ countries, trekking, camping, wine tasting, hopping bars, tasting different cuisines... and just having fun.

We know what travelling is like and that's why we love Airbnb. Isn't it great sometimes to have a home away from a home.

Joel and Rachel were great hosts. They were helpful providing us with names of good places to eat and a fan on a really hot day! I forgot a bag at their place and Rachel has offered to help me get back. :-)
The location was amazing-so close to King St which was exactly what we wanted. The room was comfortable and the apartment decorated beautifully.

I had an amazing time staying with Joel and Rachel. My flight didn't land from the UK until 10.30pm and only made it to the property at around 11.30pm but was greeted by Joel. The apartment was clean and very fresh. The room was as described in the pictures, very comfortable and homely. The apartment had everything I needed for my stay and transition to become a Sydney resident. Both Joel and Rachel are extremely nice hosts who went above and beyond to make my stay with them as great. I could not recommend staying with them enough. The property is a great location you have the whole of king street available at walking distance and all local bus and train routes are a stones throw away from the property's location! Thanks Joel and Rachel I had a great time staying with you both!

Joel and Rachel have a very sweet, small apartment in Sydney. Comfortable, very clean. It was exactly what I needed for three nights. Joel and Rachel were considerate hosts and gave me a lot of privacy.

[John] I stayed here while Emily was away -Joel and Rachel were fantastic hosts; extremely warm, welcoming, and organized. Before and during my arrival they were most friendly, giving plenty of suggestions for local places to visit and eat, checking everything was ok via e-mail and/or text, and supplying local information and breakfast materials. The apartment has an exceptionally pleasant interior, including some very comfortable furniture, pristine kitchen, breakfast bar, and cute little table on the balcony overlooking the building's leafy little courtyard. The neighbourhood is very pleasant; very near to the culinary delights of newtown as well as its nearby train stations.

I had to make a quick trip to Sydney and Joel and Rachel responded very promptly which was really helpful at such late notice. They gave me excellent directions to get to their place. On arrival I was warmly welcomed and made to feel at home in their funky apartment which is in a brilliant location. The bed was very comfy. I had to leave early in the morning but I know Joel and Rachel had a lovely spot set up for me to enjoy breakfast. Thanks guys ..much appreciated.

Rachel and Joel were fantastic hosts! They were helpful AND friendly.
Breakfast was available each morning, and a place was set at the table!
Accommodations were clean, neat and cute. The convenient location is nearby bus stop, train stations, and is right off King Street. Also, it was within a ten minute walk of erskineville.
It was a great fit.

A beaut little oasis! The apartment was really cosy and clean and the breakfast spread was beautifully presented. Excellent location... close to buzzing Newtown and Enmore and short stroll to Newtown station. Joel and Rachel were very accommodating and very hospitable. We will definitely be staying there again next year! Rosana

Rachel and Joel were great hosts - they were warm and friendly and provided a good space for me to stay - highly recommended. Newtown is a densely populated area and very much in the flightpath to Sydney airport, so quietness is not it's strong point.

Joel and Rachel are fantastic hosts. They know Sydney really well and have lots of great advice of places to visit and see. Newtown is a brilliant suburb. Their apartment is quiet but very close to the bustling high street and several of the equally fun adjacent suburbs are within walking distance. Highly recommended for your visit to Sydney.

Reviews From Hosts

Rachel and Joel were a pleasure to host. They treated our cottage with respect and were courteous and prompt in their communication with us. We would definitely recommend them to other hosts and would welcome them back to Mossy Point Tranquil Cottage any time.

Joel and Rachel stayed in our home whilst attending a wedding in Orange, they were so busy we hardly saw them! Both were very clean and tidy and superb AirBnB guests who also enjoyed playing with our dog Bailey. I would have no hesitation in recommending them both to other hosts.

rachael and joel are really lovely people they were so keen on seeing our city and enjoyed it a lot they were a joy to talk to both clever and witty and i enjoyed their company a great deal and hope they come back but they are doing a lot of travel

Rachel and Joel are two very down to earth and caring people. They have gone to every effort to make their unit quaint, accommodating and quirky, hand picking unique items to decorate their space. They even hand made their amazing coffee table and kitchen bench. I studied with them both at university and we have remained great friends. With a design background, it's no wonder the place is so tastefully decorated in a retro style. The neighbourhood is also very nice and a short walk to Newtown and Erskineville shops. Rachel and Joel are both passionate people and no doubt will make any stay a comfortable one. I have been spoilt by their accommodating nature on many occasions, having often stayed with them after a night out together. Very lovely pair!
